Starting over. These last few weeks have been a bit discouraging. After a few weeks of light activity and absolutely no PT except for stretching, ultrasounding, and manual therapy I am now back to doing some basic PT exercises and biking with zero resistance. Holy deja vu! These are the same exercises I started when I was still on crutches except for back then I didn't have any pain with them. I have been going over and over in my head how this happened. I was doing so fabulous and really thought I was being patient and careful. I look back at my posts and laugh that the only thing I was complaining about when I started running again were my shins. I was so worried that I was going to get shin splints - ha ha. Six weeks ago I did a 45 mile bike ride and was easing into running 10 miles a week and now look at me. Sad. There are really only 2 possibilities. I either overdid it or I managed to re-tear something in my hip. My ortho surgeon and PTs both agree this is weird, but x-rays and images are all good. We are giving it 1 more week and if it is not getting better we will go in for more advanced imaging and injections and other fun stuff. Big problem is with everything done to my hip it is really hard to see with imaging if anything is wrong. The only good way to see is by going back in. I really want to be positive, but something doesn't feel quite right. It feels exactly how it did before the surgery, but worse. Lame.
AM: Biking PM: Biking, lil elliptical, baby squats, and range of motion stuff
